The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 86 Something Happened

Ye Wenyan looked at the sky outside. It was still snowing and the sky was gloomy and would not clear up. He shook his head and said, "Unless you decide to stay in the temple for one night, you should return to Beijing immediately. The gate of Lin'an City will not be open just for our family."

Xiao nodded and said nothing more, then sent a servant to arrange for Rome to drive the carriage.

But the servant was very slow in his movements. He came back after a long time and said that we had to wait a while longer as the horses were being fed.

Ye Wenyan frowned slightly. She could clearly feel that Xiao was stalling for time. It took more than two hours to get here, and it would not be faster to go back the same distance. Even if they left immediately, it would be difficult to guarantee that they could reach the capital before the gates of Lin'an were closed.

Then why was Mrs. Xiao still dawdling? Finally, someone came to report that the horse feed had been finished. Everyone stood up and prepared to leave the house and get on the car. Mrs. Xiao pulled Ye Feiyu and said to him, "Feiyu, the paper money has not been burned yet. There is still one oil lamp left. We can only light it after dark, so someone must stay here to keep an eye on these things. Your uncle should stay, but if he stays, we women will be the only ones left on the road, so your uncle has to take care of us on the road. Then this place can only be handed over to you. You stay a little longer. If it is too late, you can stay overnight in the temple. Don't rush back in the dark. We will go back first. Yan'er is not feeling well, so we have to hurry on the road."

Ye Feiyu frowned when he heard this. It was not that he was unwilling to stay and do these things. If it were in the past, he would have nodded without thinking. But now it is different from before. They have been persecuted again and again, so he feels that there is something behind every word said by the second wife and the old lady, and dare not listen to it easily.

Besides, he was worried about Ye Wenyan. The girl had been feeling unwell since morning, and now her face looked even uglier. If he stayed in the temple, who would take care of Ye Wenyan? Who would ride in the same carriage with her? Ye Feiyu raised this question, and Xiao immediately said, "I will take care of the fourth girl with me, or if you are worried, let her ride in the same carriage with Qingmei and Lianmian."

Ye Lianmian was angry when he heard this: "I don't want to ride in a carriage with her! Look at her, she looks like a living dead, it's unlucky."

Ye Qingmei immediately said: "Lian Mian, how can you talk like that? She is your biological sister."

"So what if I'm your biological sister? I'm also your biological sister, but you, big brother, and mother are all equal. How dare you say that you treat me the same as Ye Wenyan? You can't even treat yourselves equally, so what qualifications do you have to educate me?"

Ye Qingmei was speechless because of her words. After all, this was the fact and she really had no way to deny it.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Xiao said quickly: "Stop talking. The fourth lady and I will be in the same car. Feiyu, you just stay here for one night and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning." So it was settled. Ye Feiyu sent them away and specifically told Ye Wenyan to take good care of himself. Only then did he reluctantly watch the Ye family's convoy set off on the road back to Beijing.

He asked the servant Sanqi beside him, "You said that the second lady kept me here just for the unburned paper and unlit oil lamps? There were no such rules on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month in previous years."

Sanqi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because there's a big funeral in our house this year! There haven't been such funerals in previous years, so it's different this year. What is the young master worried about?"

He shook his head and said nothing more. He didn't know what he was worried about. He just felt that Xiao's sudden action was not just because of burning paper and oil lamps. But if it wasn't for this, what else could it be?

The carriage went faster on the way back, although the road conditions were worse than when we came, but we were running out of time and any further delay would result in the city gates being closed. Although we could still enter the city after explaining, it was still a hassle.

Ye Wenyan and Zhuier were sitting in Xiao's car, and they were at the end of the pack. Ye Jingsheng was very unhappy and shouted at the driver: "How did you drive the car? Why is it so slow? Look how far behind you the car in front is!"

The driver felt wronged: "Master, there are too many people in our car, so we can't go any faster! Isn't there an empty car in front? Can you share the space and let two people sit over there? It's getting late, we can't afford to delay."

Ye Jingsheng glared at Ye Wenyan and ordered the driver: “Stop the car!”

The driver reined in his horse and stopped by the roadside, shouting to the team ahead: "Stop!"

Ye Jingsheng coughed and said to Ye Wenyan, "You can see it too. It's not that I don't want to take you. It's because the horse can't run any longer. If we continue like this, Lin'an City will have to close the gates. You can't let our whole family live outside the city, right?"

Ye Wenyan felt uncomfortable all over. Although her body was not hot, she did feel like she had a high fever. After hearing what Ye Jingsheng said, she asked, "What does Second Uncle mean? Just say it if you have something to say." As soon as she said this, Zhuier was shocked: "Miss, why is your voice so hoarse?"

Xiao also looked at her in surprise, but this surprise was mixed with a hint of joy, as if the more seriously ill Ye Wenyan became, the happier she was. She also asked with concern, "What happened to the fourth young lady?"

Ye Jingsheng rushed to say: "Why are you pretending? She is the most energetic one in our family. Even if she is really sick, she is more capable than us, so there is no need to worry about her. Just worry about ourselves."

Ye Wenyan smiled softly, "Why is Second Uncle worried about me? Can I eat people?"

"You can't eat people, but you will hinder us from entering the city. So you should go back to your carriage. That way you can run faster and avoid talking nonsense with the soldiers guarding the city. If those soldiers are in a bad mood today, we will have to live in the carriage."

Zhuier immediately became anxious, "Why does the young lady need to change the car? We agreed with the eldest young master at the temple that the second lady would take care of our fourth young lady. Now our fourth young lady is still sick. If we let her have a car of her own, what if something happens?"

"How can you have your own carriage? Don't you have one?" Ye Jingsheng glared at Zhuier, "You are her maid, can't you serve your master? Come on, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go back to your own carriage."

Ye Jingsheng directly chased people away, and Ye Wenyan was pushed by him and almost pushed out of the car.

Ye Jingsheng was also a little surprised. This fourth girl was always tough and domineering, why was she so weak today? Was she really seriously ill? Well, it looked like she was seriously ill. It would be great if she could never get up, or die of the illness. Then he would definitely set off two firecrackers to celebrate for three days. This damn witch almost crippled one of his hands. This hatred was irreconcilable!

Ye Jingsheng thought so and started to urge again: "Hurry up, hurry up! You are like a dead person if you dawdle."

Ye Wenyan rarely quarreled with him. She just pulled Zhuier and ordered, "Help me change back to the original car." Zhuier was unwilling to accept it, "Miss, the Second Madam promised to take care of you. They can't go back on their word."

Xiao just sat in the car without saying a word, as if she didn't hear Zhuier's words, and as if it wasn't her who talked to Ye Feiyu in the temple before.

Ye Wenyan began to sneer in her heart as she watched this scene, thinking that it was just as she expected. It was Xiao who deliberately left Ye Feiyu in the temple, and drove her back to her carriage, which was even more deliberate. Who knows what evil thing will happen in a while.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the strength now and didn't want to argue with them. It was because she had to go out on the 15th of July. She was feeling so uncomfortable that she couldn't keep the carriage even if she wanted to.

She got off the carriage with Zhuier and got back on the same carriage they came in. The convoy moved forward again, and indeed it was running much faster than before.

She told Zhuier to be alert and pay attention to what was happening around him, then she leaned back in the carriage, not wanting to say another word.

The loss of spiritual power occurs on the 15th of every month. The pain is lightest in the morning and becomes more and more severe as time goes by towards the evening.

It was now afternoon, and she felt much weaker than she had been in the morning. Not only was her voice hoarse, but even her limbs began to ache.

Zhuier was very worried when he saw her like this, but there was nothing else he could do. He could only take off his cloak and cover her with it, and then pray silently that he could return to the capital as soon as possible, even if it was just to the outer city of Lin'an to see a doctor first.

After traveling for another half an hour, Ye Wenyan had already fallen asleep. Zhuier felt that the carriage was running much faster than before, and she was very happy. The faster the horse ran, the faster we could get back to the city. The young lady really needed to see a doctor now.

But gradually she felt that something seemed not right, because it was too bumpy. She just heard the horse pulling the cart neighing, as if in great pain, and the cart also shook violently.

She really wanted to lift the curtain to ask the driver what was wrong, but Ye Wenyan's face was pale and he was shivering with cold. She was also afraid that if she lifted the curtain, the wind and snow would rush in and Miss would suffer too much, so she could only ask through the curtain: "What happened? Why is it so bumpy?" Unfortunately, no one answered her.

She thought her voice was too soft, so she asked again, but still no one answered her.

This woke Ye Wenyan up. She opened her eyes drowsily. At first, it was just a crack, but soon, her eyes opened completely and she looked much more energetic.

"Don't ask, there's no one outside."

Zhuier was startled when she heard the sudden voice. She turned around and saw that it was the young lady who woke up. She quickly apologized: "It was me who woke the young lady. Young lady, please sleep a little longer. I won't speak loudly anymore." After saying that, she felt that something seemed to be wrong, and then she remembered what Ye Wenyan had just said. No one outside? How could there be no one outside?

Ye Wenyan shook her head helplessly, "Why are you still sleeping? You'll die if you sleep any longer." She leaned forward and shivered violently, but still gritted her teeth and lifted the thick cotton curtain.

Zhuier looked outside and was stunned. The driver was not there! The horse in the carriage they were riding in was actually running by itself.

Not only was the horse running on its own, it was running wildly. There was a dagger stuck in its butt, and blood was flowing all the way...
